Mini Spring Onion Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup flour

2½ tsp. salt, divided

½ cup boiling water

2 tsp. sesame oil

4 medium green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced, divided

4–6 Tbsp. oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Place flour in a medium bowl. Sift ½ teaspoon salt into the flour. Stir in a small amount of boiling water. Add more water and begin forming into a dough. Add the rest of the water and mix in. Cover dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Knead dough until it is smooth. Cut the dough in half.

Step 3

Roll one-half of the dough out until it is no more ¼" thick. Spread 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the dough. Sprinkle with half the green onion slices.

Step 4

Roll the dough up like a jelly roll and cut into 6 pieces. Take a piece of cut dough, use your fingers to lengthen it a bit, and then form it into an L shape. Push down on the top of the L with the palm of your hand to form a circle. The pancake should be about 2–3" in diameter. Continue with the remainder of the dough.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons oil to a preheated wok or medium skillet. Add half the pancakes and fry until brown on both sides. Sprinkle with the remainder of the salt while cooking. Add more oil as needed. Garnish with the remaining green onion slices before serving.
